Why Concerto Networks?

The exploding demand for
nationally-branded, expert outsource support provides an exciting
business opportunity for seasoned IT professionals ready to run their
own computer franchises.

Current
SMB IT spending comprises over $80 billion of the growing $300 billion
total IT market. The SMB market represents nearly all types of
industries, including high tech, medical/dental, legal, real estate,
and manufacturing. This market also accounts for nearly 50% of the
private work force, as well as 50% of the private sales in the U.S.
(Source: U.S. SBA 2003). There is no clear market leader (yet!) in
this segment, leaving SMBs with limited or unclear options for support.

Concerto
Networks gives franchisees the benefits of mutli-national branding,
state-of-the-art systems and processes, and the collaboration and
support of an international network of Concerto Networks franchisees,
area developers and master franchise owners.

Are You a Good Fit for Concerto Networks?

A typical Concerto Networks IT and computer franchise
is owned and operated by one or more individuals, the franchisee.
Franchise owners have either an owner-operator model and/or utilize
employees or subcontractors as necessary to provide Consistent Quality
Service™.

The focus of our franchisees is to concentrate on providing
a localized, personal and professional on-site service, from home based
locations. Franchisees have access to a multitude of tools and
resources including back office and front office support, marketing
support and ongoing training.

Franchisees will be part of a franchised network with our
trade name and logo, offering standardized services, merchandising and
marketing techniques, operating procedures, product and service quality
standards and business methods and other expertise supplied by Concerto
Networks.

We also offer an Area Development
franchise under a separate franchise offering circular. An Area
Developer is responsible for providing support to the individual
Concerto Networks franchisees located in the Area Developer's
territory, including marketing and sales support. An Area Developer
manages a specific geographic territory, typically one or more
counties, or an entire state.
